Tabu: The Story of a Forbidden Romance

Stuck in a loveless marriage with no hope of divorce, she was also stuck in a rut, with no hope of change. Then she committed one daring act, wearing a sexy perfume, with a naughty name. Soon she was breaking the greatest taboo she knew, lovemaking outside marriage. And she discovered all that was missing in her life: excitement, pleasure, fulfillment. But could she juggle two lives and keep them separate? Or would they collide? Set in the nineteen fifties, Tabu is the story of an era of luscious suburban housewives, each striving to please her man as the ideal of femininity and beauty: the perfect wife, the perfect mother, the perfect woman. Yet it was also a time when a woman's appetite for sex was strictly taboo. In this insightful erotic novel, one such woman shares her steamy confession, revealing her secret desires, her most illicit fantasies, and what she dared do to break these taboos and make her fantasies come true. Intensely erotic in her longing to savor the taste of forbidden fruit, Tabu is a story of a woman risking everything to fulfill her most lustful fantasies. The essence and the aroma of Tabu is every bit as sultry and steamy as the perfume she wore -- especially when her perfume was the only thing she wore. Steamy scenes of romantic lovemaking highlight this exceptional novel by the author of Lady Luck. This novel strips the 1950s of its wholesome Leave it to Beaver veneer to reveal the sensuality, sin and pain that lay beneath.
